 FEMA regulations at 44 CFR 206.119(b)(1) prescribe that FEMA will annually adjust the award amount for Serious Needs Assistance (SNA) provided under the Individuals and Households Program. FEMA gives notice that the award amount for SNA provided to an individual or household under section 408 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act with respect to any single emergency or major disaster is $770. The increase in award amount is for any single emergency or major disaster declared on or after October 1, 2024. 
 FEMA bases the adjustment on an increase in the Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers of 2.5 percent for the 12-month period, which ended in August 2024. The Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor released the information on September 11, 2024.
